Something which is not really the way it seemed when you were a kid, but appears to be, or something which on first glance is one thing, but on close examination is quite unexpected, is called "counter-intuitive." My example is the way you expect a snake to be slimy because it is shiny. Shiny things are wet, right? That's your intuition. But the fact is, the snake's scales are shiny but smooth and dry. Counter-intuitive.
